The New Mastersounds

Hell yea! Reminds me of the Meters from N'awlins. I'm liking your taste in tunage my man.

Speakin of the Meters and N'awlins, have you seen that HBO show Treme'? A great story about the locals recovery from Katrina, but in particular the story evolves around mostly musicians, and each episode has numerous live performances throughout it by actual bands. Most of the actors are actual musicians too. The show is filmed in New Orleans also, but man the music, holy mother of funk is it big bottomed and blastin' with a truly unique sound and snazzy performances. They sometimes use Tubas and trombones for bass lines, and often incorporate some marching drums. There are old school jazz bands throughout too.
Here is an excerpt:

Strapping Young Lad - C:Enter:### (pronounced as "see colon, enter colon, pound pound pound")




Superjoint Ritual - Oblivious Maximus




Metallica - The Call Of Ktulu

all that other stuff is good but I like the smooth flow of this production by Dr. Dre "The Message"

Thread resurrection!

I love me some instrumental music and I could post probably 50 tunes ranging from Booker T & the MGs to The Ventures and right through Vince Guaraldi and George Winston and be hard pressed to pick even a Top 10. It sort of depends on mood at the time, and any one of them could be my favorite, depending.

But here's one that's really caught my ear relatively recently, and I don't think it's all that well known. From the Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Josh Homme, I present: Desert Roll.

Alrighty then, I'll just go it alone. Don't mind me...

Vangelis - FTW

Mason Williams anyone? One of the all-time great acoustic guitar instrumentals Classical Gas.

You can never have too much Classical Gas.

How about a walk in the Black Forest? Some good visuals with this one.

Animusic anyone?

I love Animusic. Really amazing stuff.

Back to Old School with Floyd Cramer and Last Date

Adding a little more Satch.
I love this song off the Album of the same name.
Flying in a blue dream. The Studio version is awesome.
But I'm posting a live video, so you can watch him play the lead.

A truly iconic guitar instrumental, and has the distinction of having been the only instrumental song banned by censors, in this case for glorifying delinquency.

Link Wray's Rumble.

I've found instrumentals to be far more moving than vocals. Each to their own taste of course. Recently I've discovered some really great piano techno that suprisingly turned me on. Try this one if it's up your ally. You won't be disappointed.
